Solange should've been nominated for more, especially Album Of The Year, but I'm very happy for her nomination!

Frank Ocean decided not to submit.

Can MotownSubdivision or Lastdecember break this down for me as far as how the Grammy nominations work? As far as I know the nominations are voted on by industry peers and usually typically consist of the best selling albums, songs, etc. Adele and Drake sold the most this year in pure sales and Rihanna did in singles, Drake and Rihanna scored number one singles and Drakes statistics broke records same with Adele....so why does Beyonce have more nominations than them? And I notice they add more categories just to specifically nominate Beyonce. I am so tired of this unfair industry bullshit.

You are really obsessed with this woman. Everytime beyonce is mentioned, you are on it. The energy you put in an artist you dont like.

I am not obsessed with her. She is overrated as hell and I will never stop calling it out. I think the obsession the industry and media has for her is creepy and I see there is an agenda going on where she is being unfairly awarded and pushed in the media when her STATS does not reflect that, I am sick and tired of it. Whats wrong with saying she got undeserving nominations over more deserving canidates, how does that make me obsessed??? Beyonce is going to be the most awarded in Grammy artist history and yall acting like this b.s. is "okay"... well this crap doesn't sit well with me, call me whatever you want to call me but I will never stop speaking the truth! WE should be acknowledging this propaganda and stop pretending like there is nothing evil and shady going on. She is being used as a token pawn but I want to know why. This is the most bizarre thing Ive ever seen

But she can win as many Grammys she wants, she will still be overrated and none of her music will be remembered. A statue is no indicater or definer of greatness which she fails to accept. All these broughts awards and nominations proves the general consensus that she is massively overrated. Some of her songs nominated weren't even top hits There just giving her awards because she is "Beyonce" not because of the quality or commercial merit of her music.

[Edited 12/6/16 9:49am]

They are not based on commercial success like the American Music Awards. It just that they often seem to give the nod to commercially successful albums and singles but not always. Just a couple years ago Beck won best album though only after the win did it have some commercial success. This year, Sturgill Simpson was hardly a commercial smash.

Thanks, I still feel Rihanna and David Bowie were snubbed horribly.

Posting EVERYTIME beyonce is mentioned sounds pretty obsessed to me. Im just amazed some people spend so much energy on something they hate. Its just weird to me. But pls continue with it. Its entertaining.

This thread is about the Grammy nominations she has the most nods and they are undeserving, and I gave legitimate reasons as to why. That is not expressing hate, that is making an objective intelligent observation and no one would have to call her overrated if she wasn't constanty stanned for on this site in multiple threads other more quality artists. What is entertaining is how the org has turned to crap over the years, that is what is entertaining!

Song Of The Year:

Song Of The Year:

“7 Years” — Lukas Forchhammer, Stefan Forrest, Morten Pilegaard & Morten Ristorp, songwriters (Lukas Graham)

That this tuneless rubbish was nominated for song of the year makes me nauseous. ''Once I was seven years old my mama told me, go make yourself some friends..." Nooooooooo!!!!

LOL I predicted this would be an early contender for Song Of The Year when this song first came out. I actually like the song.

It may be corny, but it's successful because it forces you to reflect on your life.

Don't laugh...

Maybe she's related to that Bart dude that posts in the other section.

Who in the Hell is BJ The Chicago Kid? The Best New Artists Nominees are a bunch of unknowns...And I knew Justin Bieber was becoming a GRAMMY darling when they gave him long sets during the last 2 ceremonies...


Lalah Hathaway should be a lock for Best R&B Song & Best R&B Album...Her LIVE cover of Angel is Blazzingly on point...Lalah can sing...


And as for Adel....I LOVE Hello and I hope the track wins a GRAMMY...If she's not gonna take the stage READY to bring'it then we don't wanna hear, "Oh my eyelashes came lose so I could not sing the song right tonight, I put on too many Spanx tonight so I can't breath the way I need to."....We ain't buying that this year...Don't even try it Adel...

I am looking for Janet Jackson ANYWHERE in those catagories, and wondering why a mixtape (Coloring Book) is nominated more than once.

I also think Beyonce's rock nod is just wrong. Give me a break!

Song of the year only honors the writers of the song, not its performer or producer or engineer (etc, that's Record of the Year).

That song is corny!

so Solange got in just before cut off.

A Seat At The Table dropped in right at cut off day.

A week after Chance The Rapper released Coloring Book as an Apple Music exclusive, it became the first album to chart on the Billboard 200 without actually being sold. Now that project has made history once again, becoming the first streaming-only album to be nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Album.

Before this year, streaming-only albums weren’t allowed to be nominated for Grammy awards. But after the critical and commercial success of Coloring Book — and a helpful call out by Chance on “Ultralight Beam” — the Recording Academy changed its rules to allow albums that are streaming exclusively to be considered.

Stop it you always come in here every year with that same comment...

Anderson.Paak has been discussed on here this year.

Chainsmokers have a huge POP hit.

I do recall them changing the rule actually. Still surprised!

Well the grammys surprised me I guess they dont mind breaking records. Beyonce had the best album this year and I would say she deserves to win but Im not sure if she will. David bowie not being nominated for album of the year shows the ageism in society but theyll probaly give him best rock performance. Everything else seems standard I wonder if theyll be a prince tribute.

[Edited 12/6/16 7:32am]

They should definitely do a Prince tribute! I still dream of an all-star funk party by Bruno, Janelle, Miguel, Beyoncé maybe, Thundercat, Anderson Paak... just anyone who is inspired by Prince.

My dream lineup would be Stevie and Sly, Me'Shell on bass, Van Hunt on guitar, Bilal, Janelle, Bruno and Bey on alternating vocals, and a "Purple Rain" played by the Revolution. I'd love to have a cast of 100 up there tho!

mjscarousal said:

The Grammys are not even following" their own rules" because if the Grammys is based on sales and commercial success, charts, etc WHY does Beyonce have all these nominations? She was NOT more commercially successful than Adele, Drake or even Rihanna. I am sorry but Beyonce does not deserve all these nominations. They just give her ANYTHING just because, if you look at her receipts nobody gives a fuq about her music or songs, she is not outselling Drake or Adele. And that dumb overrated FORGETABLE lemonade album was not better than Adele's 25, hell it wasn't even better than Rihanna whom they also snubbed along with Bowie.

Adele deserves to win album of the year. Its her second diamond album (she sold over 20 units in usa and over 30 ww), if she does not win album of the years as well as song of the year, there will be a backlash and rightfully so.

[Edited 12/6/16 8:04am]

Your obesession with Beyoncé knows no limits. 25 it's not a great album by any means, Purpose to me is better but not great.

2freaky4church1 said:

Not this time. Lemonade is a great album.

No it is not, and damn sure ain't better than 25, Anti or even David Bowie's album.

Better than the insipid 25 of course it is. Why Anti did not get nomination for Album of The Year?

lowkey said:

i havent listened to the entire lemonade album so i cant say if its as good as its hyped up to be, but if that formation song is the standard ...sorry but that song is trash. i cant believe its nominated for record and song of the year. im convinced the reviews and acclaim for her album is based off the visuals because the actually content of the music dont match the critical narrative. Beyonce is a master of illusions for pulling this off, she definately has the industry in a choke hold.

Formation is the worst song on the album but it works with in the album as like an end credits type of song. You have listen to the whole thing to get it. Its actually a great album she did good.

Indeed it's the worst it doesn't deserve the nomination, is crazy; perhaps Sorry which is a better song.

Please i love that song, Prince has more rubbish things than this.

When We Were Young is to me a much better song than Hello, it deserved the nomination for Song and Record of The Year.

Yall have fun stanning and defending Beyonce and for the ones who have a FUNCTIONAL brain and who can clearly see through these bullshit nominations and who are real music lovers will continue to critically analyze the questionable Grammy nominations. I remain unbothered and will continue to express my opinions and call b.s. out when I see it and I loveee doing it!

I guess Michelle Obama doesn't have a functioning brain then.

Goddess4Real said:

So just because Michelle Obama likes Beyonce that means Beyonce should be nominated in undeserving Grammy nomination categories? That means Beyonce deserves to win in every category?

You come up with the most silly, immature and simple arguments I swear.

I don't care who's nominated or who wins. You do, so I don't have an argument. I haven't said one thing about who's nominated. I only laughed at Eminem fans who were mad at Steely Dan winning like I'm laughing at you crying about Beyoncé yet again.
